A deutron and an \(\alpha\)-particle moving with the same velocity enter into a uniform magnetic field acting normal to the plane of their motion. The ratio of the circular paths described by the deutron and \(\alpha\)-particle is

  1. A \(1: 2\)
  2. B \(1: 1\)
  3. C \(2: 1\)
  4. D \(4: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(r = \frac{mv}{qB}\) \(\frac{r_d}{r_\alpha} = \frac{m_d/q_d}{m_\alpha/q_\alpha}\) \(\frac{r_d}{r_\alpha} = \frac{2u/e}{4u/(2e)} = \frac{2}{1} \times \frac{2}{4} = \frac{4}{4} = 1\) The ratio is \(1:1\).
